Penn State capped off its spring practice with its Blue-White football game Saturday at Beaver Stadium and showed off some of the program’s top young players, including a surprising performance from backup quarterback Tommy Stevens. The Blue team, comprised of starters and key reserves, blanked the White team, 26-0, marking a second straight lopsided spring game at Beaver Stadium.

The Lions had a big spring all around with names such as Juwan Johnson, Lamont Wade, Jonathan Holland and others all turning heads with their play in practice, then backing it up at the Blue-White game. Playing in this third Blue-White game, Stevens finally had the supporting cast of a starter and showed the big promise coach James Franklin has been touting since the quarterback arrived on campus.

Here’s a look at complete PennLive coverage from the game, plus links to key game information such as the official box score and a transcript from Franklin’s postgame news conference.

BOX SCORE

Johnson (1.5 TFLs, INT) and Jarvis Miller (sack). Check out the official box score here.
